Well, we took the stray dog to the vet today and everything looks good. She weighs 35lbs and is part Irish Setter. She has ear mites and is malnourished. No heartworms, worms or parasites. The vet thinks her eyes are red and her nose is occasionally dripping due to the pollen right now. Heart and lungs sounds are normal. Skin & coat are normal. She does have numerous abrasions to all her legs with different stages of healing. She was either nicked by a car, mistreated or attacked by something. Her paw pads are looking better...no infections to them thanks to our cleanings. She is not spayed and has probably had puppies recently. After her heartworm and parasite tests, she received two vaccines, a de-wormer, took a monthly heartworm pill and was checked out by the doctor.
Bottom line...we have adopted a dog...and named her Bailey!
We will take her back to the vet on May 5th to be spayed and on May 15th for a booster vaccine (since we do not know her history).
She has been an absolute doll today and is going to be Zachary's best friend. They followed each other around all day today! I will take more pictures of the two of them together!
